When the honeymoon is over…
"You arrived in Eindhoven this summer, new sceneries and gorgeous weather all around, and you fell immediately in love with your new local environment. Fine, but now the days have become darker and will soon turn grey and gloomy and then the honeymoon may well come to an end. Of course, you’re not a tourist anymore, but you’re studying here for good! Culture shock is now lurking. So take action, don’t let it happen and come to the workshop offered by Cosmos & ESA. There, you will learn what culture shock is and how to anticipate it before it’s too late. And oh yes… bring that one friend along who seems to suffer from culture shock, and together tell us your own stories! Because we want you to learn and exchange with your peers. See you then!"
- Vincent Merk, senior trainer professional skills and Community advisor at ESA.

What's a better reason to have a big feast than the end of the exam weeks?
Have you heard of Potluck? You prepare your meal at home (preferably one from your own country), bring it to the dinner and share it with the others - just like everybody else does. This way you get to try food from all over the globe, for the price of your own dinner ;)
Afterwards we're going to have drinks in the Hubble Community Cafe.
P.S. Preparing food in the Common Room will be difficult if everybody is cooking in the kitchen, so please prepare at home!
